john kerry officially the secretary of state. he was due to be sworn in just a few minutes ago at a private ceremony over at the state department. he has to deal with a crisis, though, from the first moments that he has taken this new job. a suicide bomber detonated a device outside the united states embassy in turkey's capital earlier today. it killed a turkish security guard. there is no doubt what kind of attack this was. >> a suicide bombing on the perimeter of an embassy is an act of terror. it's a terrorist attack. >> this is an individual wearing a suicide vest trying to come into our embassy compound. >> hillary clinton says we live in what she described as complex and dangerous times. of course, today was her final day on the job as secretary of state. in her resignation letter to president obama, mrs. clinton thanked him for his friendship and the opportunity to serve. jill dougherty is joining us from the state department. a pretty tumultuous reception upon her departure? >> reporter: yes, it was quite some day. she was right here in this hall about two hours ago aft

would not run in the special election this june to replace john kerry in the united states senate. but it was weird. he released that, and it didn't feel like news to me, somehow i felt like i had heard it before. where had i heard it before? oh, yeah, i remember. >> and, you heard it here first. which is to say you're hearing it right now. scott brown probably won't even run against ed markey. scott brown would be much happier running for governor when deval patrick leaves office next year, a race scott brown would have a much better chance of winning and a job he would love, i mean love, compared to the senate which according to my sources, he doesn't really like. >> washington doesn't have a good name it had, but it did have a good name, they created a national highway system under eisenhower. he created a system of health care for people over 65. it did really good things, we have to get back to that. and then washington will have a good name again.

to interview that future ceo. his name was john mack. it was denied. and it was because there was communication between morgan stanley's lawyer, who at the time was mary jo white, and the higher ups at the sec who included the director of enforcement, linda thomsen. aguirre was later fired for complaining about having this investigation squelched. >> blowing the whistle. >> for blowing the whistle. but the sec was later forced to pay a $750,000 wrongful termination suit to aguirre in that case. but what's so interesting is that aguirre's boss, the guy who killed that case, went to work for mary jo white's firm nine months after the case died. and he got, you know, a multi-million dollar position. it's a classic example of how the revolving door works in washington. you know, you have these regulators at the sec. and they know that there's that job out there waiting for them. so how hard are they really going to regulate these companies when they know they can get that money? but in washington, you know, people kind of shake their heads at it because it's so common you know, that these people, t

it inside it had the original maker's label "john viney, trunk chest and plate case manufacturer of aldersgate street." and john viney is? well, the antique dealer thought because i had the same name i might be interested in the trunk as indeed i was. what he didn't know was that it was my great-great-great grandfather who made this trunk. really? so it was a very special moment for me. i bought it and i've had it ever since. and from the family history aldersgate street, we know that he was working there from 1809 to 1811, so we can date it pretty accurately. and inside i keep various bits of family memorabilia. obviously when john viney was around, photography wasn't invented, but that's his son, my great-great-grandfather. and i keep all the bits of family history in it. and i have a son, oscar, and i will pass it on to him in due course. wonderful. paul, thank you so much. thank you, fiona. now here we have the title page of the atlas to one of captain cook's voyages, the second, i think, and the date is 1774 printed in paris. so tell me about it. where d

>> that should be based off equal opportunity to compete. john: it should be barred government goes well beyond that. will happen when the referee blew the whistle or called the penalty? >> i am not sure that is a foul. [laughter] >> they would form committees. john: hearings, litigation, games go on for years. with instant replay that almost happened the nitpickers said every play must be reviewed to make sure it is fair. why not? that was a disaster it would stop the momentum, during this sunday's super bowl coaches can challenge but there is a limit, no more than six per team and the referees can look at the replay screen for no more than 60 seconds a limit on the search. that works. clear and simple rules than the rest get out of the way to stay out of the game. if government worked that way we would be much better off. that's our show. see you next week. jobs council back in 2011, billing the advisory board of prominent business leaders and economists from around the nation who were to offer prposals to help spur job creation and economic growth. the president only met with his

for the next couple of days. i'm here with john pod hotter and bill kristol, founder and editor of "the weekly standard," and we're going to get right into it. john podhoretz -- >> podhoretz -- >> john podhoretz, you wrote a book a few years back called "bush country" in which you celebrated the achievements of our 43rd president, and george w. bush was a guy who thought deeply about imuation reform, poverty and trying to craft a middle class agenda for the gop. george w. bush is a figure that many republicans have been running away from. so tell me, do you think republicans were too quick to abandon george w. bush? >> i'm sorry, what? i was tweeting. i'm sorry. [laughter] um, well, yes and no. i think, obviously, politically republicans distanced themselves from george w. bush because it was politic thing to do. numbers don't lie. he became very unpopular. parties tend not to embrace figures and politicians who become unpopular. my view is that a lot of the distress over bush's domestic agenda from which republicans fled beginning really in 2005 had, it was a, it was an ancillary result of th
